Goddess Ariadne
Mistress of the Labyrinth
Liquefy the walls of my
Rib cage
Reach into my chest with your
Spool of red thread
Tug at me ‘til I can see the
Light of your face
Slayed a monster made of memories
Lurking in the shadows of my
Labyrinth of atria and
Ventricles and veins
Curled up and fell asleep
Right next to its corpse
It’s cozy in the dark, but
Now it’s growing cold
Dreamt that I was well again
Down there in the depths
Believing in my slumber I was
Free as a dove
Woke up to a ball of red
Thread and she was wrapped around my
Little finger, tugging at my
Heartstrings
Goddess Ariadne
Mistress of the Labyrinth
Liquefy the walls of my
Rib cage
Reach into my chest with your
Spool of red thread
Tug at me ‘til I can see the
Light of your face
Wakened and disoriented
Following the call of a
Voice that was both far-off and
Familiar:
“Follow this path out of
Complacence into Truth.
Awaken to a love you’ve never
Known you never knew.”
Fervent and confused
Overcome by something new
A certainty that blinded all my
Senses
I stumbled through the dark ‘til I could
See sacred geometry
She gazed at me: Her eyes were a
Sunset
Goddess Ariadne
Mistress of the Labyrinth
Liquefy the walls of my
Rib cage
Reach into my chest with your
Spool of red thread
Tug at me ‘til I can see the
Light of your face
This is where the story takes an
Unexpected turn
I won’t leave and you won’t die
Alone
Together on this island
We’ll become eternal
You’ll be queen and I’ll be god of
Revelry and wine
Throw your rope into the sea
You won’t be needing that with me
Lay your head down instead
Here upon my chest. The
Eruption of our love and the
Alignment of our stars and this
Collision of our souls
Transcends both fate and time
Goddess Ariadne
Mistress of the Labyrinth
Liquefied the walls of my
Rib cage
Reached into my chest
Cracked open my heart
Gazed at me ‘til I could see
The light in her face
Gazing back at me had always been
The light of my grace.
